A

vestibule near the last molar

42
Q

A

incisive, maxilla and palatine

43
Q

hard palate is divided into 2 fused halves by a

A

median raphe;
each half is thrown up into a number of crescent shaped ridges or rugae

44
Q

hard palate covered by

A

thick stratified squamous epithelium

usually lacks glands

under epithelium there is rich venous plexus

45
Q

in ruminants the cranial portion of hard palate is called

what is it covered with

A

the dental pad; free of ridges and covered by thick cornfield (layers of dead keratinized cells) stratified squamous epithelium

46
Q

where do you find incisive ducts in ruminants

A

lie either side of incisive papilla (on dental pad) behind first pair of incisors

47
Q

what species does not have incisive ducts

A

horse

48
Q

soft palate extends from

A

causal edge of hard palate

49
Q

tongue root

A

attached to hyoid apparatus and surrounding connective tissue

50
Q

apex of tongue

A

tip

51
Q

sulcus of tongue

A

line down the middle

52
Q

lyssa

A

on midline under mucosa, thin hard cord that extends from apex to level where frenulum attaches

53
Q

frenulum

A

ventral surface is attached to the floor of the mouth in the midline

54
Q

torus

A

in ruminants; big prominence over caudal part of body and root of tongue, generates negative pressure for suction

55
Q

intrinsic vs extrinsic muscles of tongue

A
  • intrinsic; actually within the tongue, dorsal and have many fibres with connective tissue and fat
  • extrinsic; originate outside of tongue, more ventral, responsible for major movement
56
Q

muscles of tongue are all innervated by

A

hypoglossal nerve

57
Q

styloglossus

A
  • from stylohyoid
  • elevates and retracts
  • long, thin, lateral
58
Q

hyoglossus

A
  • from basihyoid
  • depresses and retracts
59
Q

genioglossus

A
  • from medial surface of rostral mandible
  • runs dorsal, rostral and causal
  • depresses, moves rostral and curls
60
Q

geniohyoid

A
  • mandibular symphysis to basihyoid
  • move hyoid (and tongue) rostral
61
Q

tongue papillae (this isn’t all of them)

A
  • filiform; mechanical, all over tip of tongue
  • conical; mechanical, bigger filiform, in ruminants found on side of tongue, over root of tongue longer spiky looking, direct food back
  • lenticular; mechanical; flat and rounded, mainly on torus to enhance suction
  • fungiform; taste, also found on rostral 2/3s so with the filiform, they are bigger and darker
  • vallate; taste, v shaped crescent array, found 2/3 way back from tip
62
Q

surface of tongue is lined by

A

stratified squamous epithelium, may be keratinized
raised bumps called papillae; mechanical or for taste

63
Q

taste buds

A

have specialized receptor cells in them that respond to chemical stimuli thats present in food/ drink

64
Q

conical papillae

A

very large filiform papillae, are mechanical in function, and
are typically found over the root of the tongue, pointing caudally and serving to direct the food into the pharynx during deglutition, or swallowing.

65
Q

lenticular papillae

A

flat, rounded papillae, mainly on the torus, in ruminants. They may function to enhance suction of the tongue to the hard palate.

66
Q

fungiform papillae

A

round protrusions, kind of like mushrooms. They have a thin
layer of epithelium studded with taste buds on the free surface. The comparatively rich blood supply to these gives them a red or pink appearance. They are typically
found on the rostral two‐thirds of the tongue, but you might find a few on the dorsal surface of the root.

67
Q

vallate papillae

A

aka s circumvallate papillae. They are very large, and are typically found on the dorsal surface of the tongue, two‐thirds of the way back from the tip of the tongue, in a V‐shaped or crescent‐shaped array. Each papilla is surrounded by a deep groove, with taste buds on the side of the papilla

68
Q

foliate papillae

A

found in two dorsolateral groups, just rostral to the palatoglossal
arches. Each grouping forms an ovoid array of leaf‐like transverse papillae. They are separated by deep clefts or crypts, into which serous glands discharge. Taste buds are found on the sides of the clefts.

69
Q

marginal papillae

A

found in young pups, and help to seal the lips around the nipple, preventing milk from being spilled. They are lost as the pups’ diet changes from milk to solid food.

70
Q

histology of taste buds

A
  • pale- staining ovoid bodies
  • sit on dermal papillae
  • extend from basal lamina of stratified squamous epithelium
71
Q

epithelium over each taste bud is perforated by the

A

taste pore

72
Q

under the taste pore 2 cell types appear;

A
  • supporting cells; spindle shaped with free ends surrounding the inner taste pore
  • neuroepithelial cells; skebder with short taste “hairs” protruding to inner taste pore
73
Q

taste but innervation

A

complex, input to CNS vis facial nerve (CN VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) and vagus nerve (CN X)

74
Q

A
  • aggregated lymph nodules around root of tongue
75
Q

in cats and dogs and small ruminants;

A
  • deep invaginations or crypts lined w stratified squamous epithelium and frequently filled with degenerating lymphocytes
  • lymphatic tissue is diffuse and not grossly visible
